Remember how all those Republicans swore they would never overturn Roe v. Wade? Now those same Republicans are swearing they'll never cut Social Security and Medicare. Fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice…

Selling your stock in Tesla isn't necessarily a political statement; it's just good business to get out before the stock crashes completely.

You know who'll pay $5 million for Trump's gold residency card? Leaders of drug cartels. War criminals who stole from their victims. Perpetrators of ponzi schemes. Frauds, scammers, and thieves. You claim Biden opened America's borders to to criminals? Trump is doing it for real on live TV.

Elon wants to privatize the post office. Here's a better idea: let's nationalize SpaceX. After all, the taxpayer has already paid for it. We should own what we've paid for.

I have never before heard so many Americans saying they're embarrassed about being American. This is new, and it is 100% Trump's fault. 100%

"America First" is a joke. Trump always puts Trump first. Always has, always will.

Trump's tariffs against Canada and Mexico violate the free trade agreement that he negotiated in his first term, and that he proclaimed were a great deal for America. You can never trust Trump to tell the truth or honor a deal.

Trump recited a list of countries that no one ever heard of. I didn't until I realized these were countries I do know, Trump was just mispronouncing their names so badly that I didn't recognize them. I bet most of you would recognize them, too, if their names were pronounced correctly.

Teddy Rosevelt said, "Walk softly and carry a big stick." Canada is known for walking softy. Now Trump is going to find out that Canada is carrying a really big economic stick. FAFO, Doinnie. FAFO.

The Second Amendment doesn't say anything about having arms for personal protection. It explicitly says guns are for maintaining a "free state". Just saying.

Elon and his little Musk-rats don't understand how missing data is coded in databases. No SS checks are being paid to 150 year olds. This so-called hackers are script kiddies, not serious programmers.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the right and duty to pass a budget and allocate money. If Trump does not spend the money as that budget directs, he is creating his own budget. That is unconstitutional.

Trump and his staff and his supporters don't understand that transgenetic mice are not transgender mice. When these bozos defund science, they literally do not know what they are doing.

A high percentage of undocumented workers return to their home countries, either because they've earned enough money are are homesick or because they get deported. No country will release violent criminals from jail, hoping they will cross the border and never return. Don't believe MAGA lies.

Uh… Does Trump think he's putting a tariff on fentanyl coming from Canada? And that's going to pay for his trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich? Now you know how this "brilliant businessman" managed to bankrupt his casino.

What does America buy from Canada? The energy and raw materials American industry needs. How on Earth is American industry going to thrive by making those necessities more expensive with tariffs? Trump's ignorance about business is going to cripple the American economy. That's just common sense.

When Trump says America will have a "period of adjustment" to his new tariffs, he's admitting he knows he's driving the country into a second great depression. But he's going to do it anyway because it'll be "good TV".

I watched as much of the State of the Union Address as I could stomach. Lies, empty promises, and a generous helping of "poor me, more hard done by than anyone in history." Now I need a stiff dose of anti-nausea medication*. * 12 Year Old Dalmore Scotch

When Tass, the Russian state propaganda media is allowed into a Presidential press event and AP, the American press agency is barred, you know who owns the White House now, and it's not the American people. Who in hell voted for this traitor?

Trump claiming Zelensky never said "Thank you" to the US is a pure lie. Zelensky has publicly thanked America dozens of times. We have the videos. You know who never thanked Americans for billion and billions in taxpayer contracts and subsidies? Musk. That's entitlement writ large.

JD Vance ranking on Zelensky for not wearing a suit is laughable when no one said a word about Musk not only wearing no suit i the oval office, but bringing a toddler and letting the little brat wipe snot on the President's desk. There's no bottom to MAGA hypocrisy.

Trump says he's holding all the cards, but he's discarding the highest cards in America's hand as fast as he can: Starting a trade war with America's biggest trading partners Stepping out of NATO Gutting the civil service Pardoning hundreds of violent felons Etc. etc.

Republicans will never say this out loud, but they want to eliminate Social Security and Medicare benefits, but continue to collect FICA contributions and redirect the proceeds into the pockets of the wealthy.

If more Americans read and understood "The Great Gatsby", they would see the folly of wasting their adoration on the wealthy. They would not admire Trump or Musk or Bezos for no good reason. And if Christian were a poor man, Anastasia would never have let him abuse her in "50 Shades of Grey."

When Trump delivers the State of the Nation Address on Thursday, is he going to update us on his progress implementing Project 2025, or is he going to misdirect us with lies and nonsense?

How far away is Russia from America? About 30 miles. Less if you include the islands in the Bering Strait. Maybe it's a little early to stop defending ourselves from Russia. Unless you want Putin to point to Russia's original ownership of Alaska and claim it as an historic Russian oblast.

There's nothing new about Republican presidents pardoning traitors. Ford pardoned Nixon. Bush pardoned Scooter Libby. What is new is the scale of the treason. No previous president pardoned so many traitors at once. But no previous president licked the boots of America's enemies, either.

Love how Trump/Elon says DOGE is making the government accountable, but when asked in court, they can't say who is running DOGE. Sometimes it's Elon, sometimes its Amy Bleason, sometimes Trump, depending on the phase of the moon and direction the wind is blowing. No accountability in DOGE.

Have you noticed that you haven't seen Musk in the news lately. Do you wonder why the billionaire-owned media is helping him hide what he's doing? Follow the money and you'll see why destroying the government is making you poorer and the billionaires richer.

The CIA is a danger to Russia. The CIA uses USAID to host their spies in foreign countries. Putin loves that Trump/Musk is destroying USAID. It looks like Putin is directing Trump/Musk to cripple American intelligence. Do Trump/Musk know they're serving Putin's interests, or are they simply morons?

Trump would have treated Zelensky a lot better if Zelensky were a child sex trafficker instead of the leader of one of America's allies.

You can't understand Trump because you don't know who you're hearing. Trump doesn't know anything about policy, but people from the Heritage Institute are hiding in the shadows. Sometimes he recites lines from their playbook and sometimes he spews made-up nonsense, contradicting what he just said.

Ross Ulbricht was the biggest illegal drug merchant in America. He hired hitmen to murder his detractors. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Trump pardoned him because his mother supported Trump in the election. Republicans don't care about law and order.

Trump thinks the US has trade deficits because the rules are stacked against the US. He always thinks he's a victim. No. The US has trade imbalances because American manufacturers make shitty products that nobody wants. People will pay more for Japanese or German products because they last longer.

Trump loves attention. He got so much press for his disgraceful treatment of Zelensky that you can be sure he'll be equally disrespectful to other foreign dignitaries. Only an idiot would go to the White House and meet with Trump now. And the leaders of important countries are not idiots.

Trump couldn't send a clearer message to the world than he did today: America is nobody's friend. We shouldn't be surprised. Trump doesn't have friends. He sees other people as either threats who he has to suck up to or suckers who he can exploit.
